Resident Evil 7: Biohazard tells the story of Ethan Winters, a man who is lured to a plantation in Dulvey, Louisiana after receiving a message from his wife who had been missing for three years. Unlike many previous titles in the series, Ethan Winters is a civilian who doesn’t have any notable combat training. The game marks a return to the horror roots of the series, de-emphasizing the action elements that sprung up around the time of Resident Evil 4.

While the number of shipped copies doesn’t necessarily correlate with sales, publishers probably wouldn’t send out a boatload of physical copies if they weren’t expecting game stores to move them. Interest in the game is certainly high; it was the most downloaded demo of a Resident Evil title ever. Steam Spy reports that there are 141,588 owners of the game (±10,849), although it’s important to note that the service tracks owners of the title and not sales. Capcom has not yet released any official sales data for the title.
